You’re trying to clone the “Animate” using LocalScript which will only affect yourself.

Yes, and also put it on StarterCharacterScripts.
Edit : Forgot to read your code

Birdie, i have ascript which switches the player’s character, i forgot to mention that, here’s that script:

local function respawnPlayer(plr, modelName)
	local model = game.ReplicatedStorage.Characters:FindFirstChild(modelName)
	local oldModel = plr.Character
	local newModel = model:Clone()
	newModel.Name = plr.Name
	local oldCFrame = oldModel:GetPrimaryPartCFrame()
	oldModel:Destroy()
	plr.Character = newModel
	newModel.Parent = workspace -- [1] this follows current character loading behavior
	newModel:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(oldCFrame)
	local newAnimate = script.Animate:Clone()
	newAnimate.Parent = model
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(chr)
		if not chr:GetAttribute("Character") then
			respawnPlayer(plr,"RangeBoio")
			game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.Ragdoll:FireClient(plr,true)
		end
	end)
end)

any other way to do this?

#6

So you’re trying respawn the player on the same spot they Ragdoll?
Edit : Oh my god, I will punch myself for not reading it twice

#7

No respawnPlayer switches the player’s character to an already existing character which is being cloned into workspace.

#8

Okay, I know how to fix this one

#9

Do i need to place the animate script in the replicated storage character?
Edit: tried, didnt work

#10

Change it to this one :

-- Put this script inside ServerScriptService since it handle, well the Server
local function respawnPlayer(plr, modelName)
	local model = game.ReplicatedStorage.Characters:FindFirstChild(modelName)
	local newModel = model:Clone()
	newModel.Name = plr.Name

	local oldModel = plr.Character
	local oldCFrame = oldModel:GetPrimaryPartCFrame()
	oldModel:Destroy()

	plr.Character = newModel
	plr.Character.Parent = workspace -- Since the player's character has been changed, you don't  need to type "newModel.Parent"
	plr.Character:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(oldCFrame)

	local newAnimate = script.Animate:Clone()
	newAnimate.Parent = plr.Character
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(chr)
		if not chr:GetAttribute("Character") then
			respawnPlayer(plr,"RangeBoio")
			game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.Ragdoll:FireClient(plr,true)
		end
	end)
end)

Nothing changed, the character still has no animation. (The script is already in ServerScriptService)

#12

I will try to fix it right now.

Hmm, did the script have “Animate” in it? And oh well, here is the newly done script :

local function respawnPlayer(plr, modelName)
	local model = game.ReplicatedStorage.Characters:FindFirstChild(modelName)
	local newModel = model:Clone()
	newModel.Name = plr.Name

	local oldModel = plr.Character
	local oldCFrame = oldModel:GetPrimaryPartCFrame()
	oldModel:Destroy()

	plr.Character = newModel
	plr.Character.Parent = workspace -- Since the character has changed, you don't  need to type "newModel.Parent"
	plr.Character:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(oldCFrame)

	if plr.Character:FindFirstChild("Animate") == nil then
		local newAnimate = script.Animate:Clone()
		newAnimate.Parent = plr.Character
	end
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(chr)
		if not chr:GetAttribute("Character") then
			respawnPlayer(plr,"RangeBoio")
			game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.Ragdoll:FireClient(plr,true)
		end
	end)
end)

Edit : the reason why the other one doesn’t work, it’s because it has 8 “Animate” inside of the player’s character. All of the animations are overriding the same animations

#14

Sorry for being late, it still does not work. idk why. something is weird and idk what.
is there any solution? i really need this to work.

#15

Is the script is inside ServerScriptService?

#16

Yes it is, it is enabled and everything should be working, but it still doesnt replicate.
i tried setting the original animate’s parent to the new character but still, nothing.

#17

Can you show me your script so I can fix the problem?

#18

Isn’t loadAnimation deprecated? it is still used in the animate script. also here:
